New diversity for lager beers

“Unlike ales, lager beers differ little in flavor. But now, by creating new crosses among the relevant yeasts, Kevin Verstrepen, PhD, Stijn Mertens, and their collaborators have opened up new horizons of taste.”

What’s the Difference Between Lagers & Ales?

“For the average beer drinker, the difference between an ale and a lager comes down to how the beer looks, smells, and tastes.”

For the love of the Norse gods. There are billions of different styles of beers. With just different Water, Starch source, Hops and Yeast you can make anything you want from light to dark. Beer is a science all unto itself. And it can be made in any part of the world. The craft beer revolution has made the limits of beer blurry. Any nation any creed and any people can make good beer. It is all in the imagination of the crafter! Greetings from a beer lover/maker from Norway.

I can't wait until someone gets to brew beer with that opiate producing yeast.

Do a video on "why does wine & whisky Taste better when its older" or " does it taste better if its older"

I'd like to see if this yeast would change the taste and quality of my moonshine

Can you tell us whether it's better to shower in the morning or at night in the next video?

Every time he says "Lager" it sounds like "Logger"

Now I want some beer, but I have none at home and it's already so late that the stores are closed :(

Forget about lagers. American IPA, Russian Imperial Stout, Whiskey Stout, Barrel aged beers, and many more - those are beer styles you would love.

Craft beer is the bane of human existence.

"Serious sexual action" lol.

[inkyhip]

The words 'sexual' and 'yeast' should never be in the same sentence. Thanks!

Not all lagers taste the same. There are Keller biers, Pilsners, Marzens, American Adjunct Lagers, Black Lagers, Amber Lagers, and the infamous Koshch Which is brewed using Ale yeast, and then Lagered (kept at cellar temp for a period of time). If you think all Lagers taste the same you have some serious beer tasting to do. Have fun with your tastings.
